The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

The thread for my WW1 A7V has been locked, so it will start off this new venture.
Remember this?






I'd left it to close to my 'paint drying' spot lamp!

I made a rubber mould then cast a resin copy of the cupola from a second model I bought.








Using it and some camo nets to hide a bit of the damage;

I removed the decal cross on the top front grill and hand painted a cross on.

Nice fix to the cupola. I like the painted on cross as well.

The cross on the grill looks good.

Nice to see this resurrected Fred. Excellent bit of reworking.

When the Frog kits GB ended I'd got to this stage with my Macchi 202;

I had to strip the paint off again and start over. I was doing tan with green botches but the subject was green with tan blotches, and no white on the fuselage nose.
Now it looks like this;

Nice Macchi, the camo looks great.

That's a nice job on that Italian camo.

Thank you for the nice words.

Good looking Macchi model!
And nice to see a FROG kit finished.

cheers,

Thank you David.
Another one from the to-be-finished shelf.
This was started during the 'Museum' GB earlier this year. When I stopped it had been sprayed silver and the black trim on the tail parts done.










Whilst getting reference for building, painting and decaling this I've identified at least 8 different schemes on P51s representing this one. Now there is one less; the IWM Duxford one is no more. It has been repainted as Etta Jeanne II MX-V 44-11631

Nice stuff Here, Fred. The macchi really caught my eye. The paint Jon looks very nicely done!

Nice work on all of these! The Macchi in particular...

Cheers!

Well done

Remember when we did the ''Aero Themed Autos'' GB? I never finished mine, till last evening;






If I ever have another cheap model car on hand I might do another.
RAF or USA(A)F ?

I love the camo on the F40! Of course, I think Enzo Ferrari would roll-over in his grave if he ever saw it. Some nice work going on here.
